5/31/12-Juliet reaction

I believe that Juliet will be very sad of the news of Romeo being banished and will become depressed and possibly kill herself. I believe this because I know that in Romeo and Juliet they both die and this may be the start of how they both die.

5/24/12 shakspeare today

I do agree with the article because as the article stated there are still dozens of movies being made for shakespeares plays.There are holidays dedicated to him, and two globe thearters made in his honor in Japan and England. Also because of how Shakespeare words his plays it attracts many people and that is why he has influenced many cultures.

5/16/12 the sniper

In the story a sniper is on his post on a roof during the night. He wants to have a smoke but the light from the match alerts another enemy sniper across the street on another roof. As he is hiding a enemy vehicle comes and a man comes out of a turret and a women talks to him and points to the roof he is on. The lady was telling of his position so he shot the man in the turret and the women, as this is happening he is shot in the arm and drops his gun. He then tends to his wound and creates a plan that makes the other sniper think that he is dead. The other sniper falls for his plan and comes out of hiding, he is then shot and killed. The sniper then gets curious to who the sniper is and goes to see, it ends up being his brother because he was someone who changed sides in the war.

5/14/12 Republicans

I do believe that we should make the cuts, because even though we are taking money out of different places that are useful we apparently need the extra money to fund more important things. Although I think it might be a better idea to take the money out of somewhere other then medicare.

5/10/12 parking fees

I think that the parking fees should be lowered because it will decrease business for certain businesses in Portland, and it makes it more difficult to find a spot to park in the city so that you can be in the city. I think that raising the price of parking has more cons than pros, and we should have the price kept lowered.

5/8/12-introduction

Foreshadowing has been a common element in literature throughout the years of writing.  In the novel Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck shows many excellent examples of foreshadowing throughout the book. Carleson killing Candy’s dog, a heron eating the snake, and Lennie grabbing onto a ladies dress and panicking are all good examples of foreshadowing the pivotal events of the book Of Mice and Men. This effect makes the tone of the book dark and ominous.

5/4/12- To a mouse

This poem relates to Mice and Men because in the poem the mouses house gets destroyed by the farmers plow, the idea of the house was a good idea. In Of Mice and Men George and Lennie have the good idea of owning a ranch together, but the plan never follows through because Lennie kills a women and so George has to shoot him. The plow from the poem is like all of the troubles Lennie had caused in the end of the book, which led to the destruction of the plan of the ranch. The mouse's house from the poem can also be related to the plan of the ranch from Mice and Men because both were good ideas, they just didn't work.
